Farm Sanctuary encourages you to adopt a turkey

It is that time of year again when more than 45 million turkeys are killed for Thanksgiving. These over bread birds are slaughtered when they are only 6 months old. They are denied the simple pleasures of outdoors, raising their young, or even the freedom of movement.

Since 1986 Farm Sanctuary has rescued more than 1000 turkeys from slaughter and have either provided a home for them on their farms or have found homes for them. Again this Thanksgiving with help from you many turkeys will avoid the table and be able to live their lives. The Adopt a Turkey program allows you to sponsor a turkey for as little as $30.00. You can choose an individual turkey you wish to support and will receive a picture and a certificate with fun facts about your new friend.
